Abstract :
The phasor visualizer presented in this paper performs real time calculation in steady-state and transient conditions of simultaneous electromagnetic torque, magnetic flux, voltages and currents of an induction motor supplied with sinusoidal voltages or through frequency converters and provide an oscillographic display. The phasor visualizer is an instrument for analysis, investigations and teaching of AC machine drives. The instrument needs no shaft position or speed sensor, it uses exclusively the acquired stator currents and voltages. The main fields of application are: element of a monitoring system, integration in a control unit, research tool for induction motor drives, and test shop. Practical results of the implementation are presented and discussed
